Michigan-born Shawkie “Shaq” Baydoun has been in real estate since 2004 as both a broker associate and agent. His professional philosophy is always to put his clients first, and his commitment to their success has gotten him far — both interpersonally and geographically. Shaq is a licensed mortgage broker associate in 13 states, meaning location will not stop him from helping his clients find their dream home. Shaq works all over and with a diverse group of clients, from first-time homebuyers and relocators to foreign nationals and everyone in between. His ability to work across state lines helps him serve a larger pool of interested buyers and sellers. Plus, he leverages his knowledge of real estate laws in different areas to help keep his clients informed and empowered to make the decision that best suits them. Shaq is driven to help as many people as possible make their dreams of homeownership a reality, which he has done for countless past clients. Outside of real estate, Shaq loves playing golf and enjoying the great outdoors; he especially likes boating and snorkeling out on the water.
